Objective The left heart bypass is currently the most frequent adjunct to provide distal aortic
perfusion during aortic clamping. However, closed-circuits cannot respond to sudden …

Fifty-five patients with descending thoracic aortic aneurysms were operated upon between
October 1987 and October 1994. All patients were supported by a centrifugal pump during …

Purpose: Several centers use atriodistal bypass (ADB) as a protective adjunct against distal
ischemia during extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. Most current …

A comparative study between left heart bypass with a centrifugal (BioMedicus) pump and
with a temporary external shunt was performed to assess the efficacy of distal organ …

Since 1987, 33 patients have undergone surgery at Kobe University Hospital for aneurysm
of the descending aorta using left heart bypass with a heparin‐coated centrifugal pump and …

A new centrifugal pump (Sarns), originally designed for ventricular assist, was successfully
used in two patients during repair of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic …

Minimized perfusion circuits (MPC) were found to reduce side effects of standard
extracorporeal circulation (ECC). We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ROCsafe™ …

Forty-six patients who had had an elective repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm
were reviewed, in order to investigate the efficacy of support by a centrifugal pump on distal …

OBJECTIVE: The study compared the short-term outcome of distal perfusion in
thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery using a mini-circuit and nonocclusive femoral …

We reviewed the role of the BioMedicus pump in the reduction of neurologic complications
following the repair of Type 1 and Type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Since 1991 …
